> If a user hasn’t visited the site or replied by email in X days, the block could be displayed to them on login. They could be used to re-enforce community rules after a period of absence.

This is done by default with the site redirecting to `/top` the first time you load the homepage after an absense.

Number 2 - displaying a notice to all users until dismissed - can be done with Topic Wrench → Pin Topic → Banner Topic 🙂

You may want to include instructions on clicking the X when done, as otherwise they may be prone to leaving it there…
